Robert –

I wanted to share with you that on Wednesday I released, along with Senator Heller, a report on the VA disability claims backlog and introduced legislation that would help eliminate the claims backlog that has forced many of our veterans to wait over 200 days for their claim to be processed. Veterans and their families make tremendous sacrifices for our country and it is simply unacceptable that they aren’t getting the care they need in a timely manner.

Now is the time to advance bipartisan legislation that will move the VA’s disability claims system into the 21st Century, so that it delivers the relief that our veterans and their families deserve. Read more here.

On Tuesday I spoke about global food security and its importance to US national security – watch and share the video here – and on Thursday, with Senator Isakson, I introduced the Global Food Security Act of 2015.

We have to meet the challenge of food insecurity head on. Combating hunger and malnutrition in the developing world is a national security imperative for the United States, and I’m proud to be leading this effort. Read more and share the link here.
